I would go with php over js anyday for backend stuff, and Laravel is a great choice for it. The bottle neck is never the framework itself, it poorly written code and bad database design that causes issues.

Choosing Laravel as my backend framework for a Project
Hi all,
I am in the middle of a project development. It's been a month and I have already completed the MVP version of it
Just a question in my mind if I have to add more features next year and a number of users come in and do transactions like 50k or so, is it good to go with Laravel, or in my mind is Node Js
I did my research on that and got to know that it mostly depends on server setup and not on the framework I use But I want to hear your experiences as well
The application's current users will be around the UK and it's a bidding platform so what do you guys suggest?

@Tray2 Thank you
I chose Laravel initially because of its quick development as compared to other frameworks, and have a strong community as well
You mentioned some good points to look at, why did you choose PHP/Laravel instead of others?

@shami003 Because PHP was one of the few languages that was supported by web servers back then, and laravel has always been simple to use, and convention before configuration is awesome.

@Tray2 Thank you
I got some confidence now in Laravel because when I heard we would be scaling next year I had a lot of things on my mind

50k transactions within which duration ?
50k within 1 minute ? 1 hour ?
nodejs seems to be interesting for applications with high traffic.
But Laravel is equiped with all needed tools to handle a high traffic too.
So according to me both frameworks are good choices.

@vincent15000 it was just an example of that much transaction, let's say 50k per hour
I am thinking about the max load it can handle at some specific timeframe

@shami003 max load also depends on the database if number of concurrent connections is a concern.
